It’s now the middle of the night, and after only a few hours of sleep, I am wide awake and thinking. Not an unusual habit for me, although I have been sleeping quite well recently, so this feels more like a rare occurrence than the usual this time around.
An offer was made and accepted on a new construction 55 and over community home in a city right near Dallas! Construction should begin next month with completion before the end of the year.

These past couple of weeks have been such a heart-warming and soul-filling time.
My brother drove up from Houston for a two-night visit, and just being together again felt easy and familiar, like no time had passed. There was something about sitting together that reminded me how much of life lives in these simple moments we often move too quickly through. We also connected with one of Tim’s good friends from high school and his wife who are becoming family in this new chapter.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the power of voice — not just what we say, but the energy behind the words we choose.
There is a frequency to our voice. A vibration that moves outward, often more subtly than we realize. When we speak from fear or frustration, that energy spreads. When we speak from grounded clarity, compassion, or truth, that spreads too.
Our words shape more than conversations. They shape the atmosphere around us.

I’m writing this on the day of the Spring Equinox, when light and dark meet in perfect balance — equal hours of day and night, a quiet reminder of the natural rhythm we’re all part of.
We’ve just moved through a Pisces New Moon, Mercury is finally direct after three weeks of retrograde, and we’re also in the energetic window of eclipse season — a time that tends to stir what’s been hidden, asking us to release, reset, and realign. It’s been a big few weeks, both collectively and personally.

People sometimes ask me what it takes to keep moving forward — how I don’t seem to get stuck in the loops of habitual thinking or second-guessing every decision.
For me, the answer is simple, though not always easy to practice. I believe there is a higher intelligence guiding all of us toward our highest and best. I personally call that Life energy Spirit. Others might call it God, the Universe, Source, or simply intuition. Whatever name we give it, aligning with that greater life force is what allows us to step into the fullest expression of ourselves.

There is a time and season for everything in life, and I have found myself often trying new things that do not gain traction in the way I would have liked. Sometimes I can feel embarrassment in that — oh, I tried it and really felt like it was in resonance, so why didn’t it take off? I have built the internal muscle of moving into action, which takes courage, but then an old paradigm of shame can emerge when, over time, it doesn’t convert.

I saved a post on Instagram recently because it captured something I’ve felt for years but never quite said so clearly.
It suggested that people sometimes change more through travel than through therapy.
Not because therapy doesn’t matter — it absolutely does — but because travel removes you from the structure of who you think you are. It strips away routine, roles, expectations. What some therapists call “identity pressure.”
When you’re far from home, you can hear yourself differently.
I know that’s been true for me.

Connection can happen in so many ways.
Through long lunches with friends who hold space without fixing.
Through a smile exchanged in the Costco checkout line.
Through meeting a stranger on a bus in Vietnam who shares a similar story — and deciding to grab a coffee when the ride ends. (Tim’s connection moment this week.)
These moments remind us that we are not alone.

One of the questions we’re asked again and again — especially after our first six-month adventure — is: What was your favorite place?
For Tim, the answer is easy. Costa Rica. The beaches, the water, the expansiveness. It was also the place where he had one of the most profound, personal experiences of the entire journey — a single day at the beach that opened something deep and lasting for him.
For me, it’s never been one place.
